<\/p>\nWarming up this week<\/p>\n
Track the forecast highs with meteorologist Victoria Wisniewski<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSNOW MELT. I\u2019M REPORTING. ALL RIGHT, SO YOU HEARD THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT GEORGIA AND THE DROUGHT THERE. WE\u2019RE FACING DROUGHT LIKE CONDITIONS HERE TOO. YEAH. EVEN IN SPITE OF ALL OF THAT RAIN THAT WE GOT LAST WEEK. YEAH. SO WE WERE JUST TALKING SANIKA. AND IT SEEMS THAT WITH ALL THE RAIN THAT WE RECEIVE, WE GOT ALL ABOUT FOUR MONTHS WORTH OF RAIN IN ABOUT A WEEK. SO YOU\u2019RE THINKING, WHY HASN\u2019T THE DROUGHT IMPROVED? WELL, IT REMAINS STABLE, WHICH IN THEORY IS GOOD NEWS, BUT WE NEED SO MUCH MORE RAIN TO MAKE A DENT IN THE DROUGHT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WELL, THE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS IS GOING TO BE WARMER AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAVING ANY RAIN IN THE FORECAST. WE ARE SEEING VERY MINIMAL CHANCES TO SEE THAT RAIN, MAYBE UNTIL NEXT WEEK. THAT\u2019S WHEN WE COULD SEE SOME PRECIPITATION BACK IN THE FORECAST. BUT OTHERWISE WE ARE JUST GOING TO BE WARMING UP ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. AND FOR SOME OF US, GOING TO BE SEEING THE 90S AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MID WEEK AND LATE WEEK HERE IN ORLANDO, WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE APPROACHING THE UPPER 80S LOW 90S AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE END OF THE WORKWEEK. AND THEN BY THE SATURDAY, SUNDAY TIME FRAME. BUT IF YOU FIND YOURSELF FURTHER INLAND, WILDWOOD, OCALA AREAS AWAY FROM THE WATER, THAT\u2019S WHERE YOU\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE DRIER AIR MOVE IN. YOU CAN SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES EARLIER IN THE WEEK. SO ON AVERAGE, WE GET ABOUT 106 DAYS OF 90 DEGREE PLUS DAYS. BUT SO FAR WE\u2019VE ONLY HAD THREE THIS YEAR. AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE. ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. YOU\u2019LL SEE THAT WE HAVE THAT CHANCE TO SEE THAT AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BUT BEFORE THAT GRADUAL WARMING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, AND WE\u2019RE STILL WATCHING THAT RIP CURRENT RISK ACROSS THE COASTLINE. AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. IT WILL BE A MODERATE RISK, BUT THEN JUMPS RIGHT BACK UP INTO THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK. SO THE POOL IS GOING TO BE YOUR FRIEND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS FOR TODAY. AND TO FOLLOW WITH A LIVE LOOK. DOWNTOWN ORLANDO AT THIS HOUR, A COUPLE CLOUDS AND WE ARE MOSTLY DRY 78 TOWARDS THE VILLAGES, 76 IN SANFORD AND 79 AT THIS HOUR IN ORLANDO. WE\u2019RE JUST ABOUT TO REACH THE 80S FOR MANY OF US. SO HERE\u2019S THE THING. FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR IS MOSTLY DRY, BUT I FOUND ONE ONE LITTLE CELL JUST NEAR SAINT CLOUD AND SOUTH OF KISSIMMEE. AT THIS HOUR THAT IS JUST PRODUCING A QUICK LITTLE SHOWER OFF OF THE LAKE. BUT EVERYONE ELSE, THEY ARE NICE AND DRY. THE 12 HOUR FORECAST BRINGING US TO THE LOW 80S IN ORLANDO. THOSE OF YOU ALONG THE COASTLINE WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70S LIKE NEW SMYRNA BEACH, COMING IN AT 78, TITUSVILLE COMING IN AT 80, AND THE PALM COAST IS 79. BUT YOU SEE THOSE OF YOU BY OCALA, THE VILLAGES, LEESBURG, THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE SEEING THE WARMEST CONDITIONS TODAY. AND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH THE ALLERGIES AND THE POLLEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS WELL. THE LACK OF RAIN, BOTH FOR THIS WEEK BUT ALSO UPCOMING. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO NOTICE THAT ORLANDO IS GOING TO BE JUST IN THE BELOW AVERAGE CATEGORY. SO WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE WATCHING WHAT THAT TREND WILL BE LOOKING LIKE ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. I CAN TELL YOU THIS WEEK IS GOING TO BE BRIGHT, SUNNY, AND CERTAINLY WARM. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SEVEN-DAY FORECAST ALONG THE COASTLINE. IT WILL BE A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
